The purpose of this study is to examine the income and expenditure patterns of disabled people and the impact of the introduction of Disability Living Allowance thereon.

Main Topics:

The interview schedule was split into three parts. The first interview was an income and expenditure inventory, looking at the living costs of the household. A diary to be completed by each adult (16+) member of the household covered everything they spent during the following fortnight. Then a second interview was conducted, with the disabled person, covering the nature of the disability and the effect it had on their ability to lead a full life. Information was also sought relating to the uptake of the Disability Living Allowance. Standard measures: The second interview was based on the OPCS 1985-88 disability surveys and allowed the generation of <i>Disability Severity Scores and Scales</i> using the OPCS methodology and syntax.

Screening questionnaire sent to low income population from a Local Authority Housing Benefit dataset.
